I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 198 Helena's Story

The old woman's name was Helena, and she was once the lady of the Wilfors family.

When Helena was young, she followed her neighbor's brother to go fishing and often played at the beach.

She and the head of the Wilfors family also met at the seaside.

At that time Helena had just learned to build ships.

In that era, the fact that women could build ships was considered rather unorthodox.

But the man in power thought that girls like Helena were very special, so he started dating her.

At first, Helena didn't know the true identity of the man in power. She thought she met just a young man from an ordinary family.

It was not until the two of them fell in love and began to discuss marriage that the person in power revealed his identity to Helena.

But at this time, Helena was already deeply in love with the man.

After struggling in her cabin for a week, she decided to marry the man, even though she would have to learn more and face a lot of criticism in the future.

Just like that, Helena jumped into the fire pit with her full of love.

When Helena first entered the Wilfors family, she felt people's kindness.

But as time went by, she discovered that the contempt for the poor that was ingrained in everyone's bones had not disappeared at all.

These people were only nice to Helena in front of those in power, but they still looked down on her behind her back.

Although she had learned aristocratic etiquette at that time and even abandoned some of her bad habits.

However, people's prejudice always pierced her heart like a sword.

At night, she told the man in power about her sorrow, hoping to be comforted.

But the person in power told her not to care about those people's looks, as their looks should not affect Helena.

She felt that those in power simply did not understand this kind of pain because they were always on high ground and could not see it.

However, within two days, the person in power said that he wanted to send Helena out to relax.

He sent Helena to a small seaside village where the people were kind and simple.

Plus the environment there was so good that Helena forgot about what happened before for a while.

The man in power spent a very pleasant weekend with her there, but still had to rush back to family affairs.

So Helena lived in the village alone temporarily.

She thought that the man in power would take her away from the disputes, but she didn't expect that a week later, she heard that the man in power was going to marry the eldest daughter of another family as his wife.

So, what is she?

Anxious Helena stayed awake almost all night, and the next day she rented a carriage and headed for the city.

She wanted to find out why those in power treated her like this.

But when she arrived, she only saw the man in power affectionately helping another girl out of the carriage.

All this made Helena feel so dreamy that she fainted in extreme sadness.

When she woke up, the doctor told her that she was two months pregnant.

When she returned to the small village, the person in power was looking for her everywhere. When he saw her come back, he hugged her and comforted her with great pity.

But Helena couldn't explain what she was thinking, she just felt heartbroken.

She did not tell the person in power about her pregnancy, but only told him that she had recently drawn a new blueprint and wanted to build a cruise ship of her own.

Of course those in power agreed.

After that, Helena began to frequently avoid meetings with those in power, using the excuse that she was busy building a cruise ship.

After being rejected again and again, the man finally gave up his obsession.

As the months went by, Helena's belly could no longer be concealed.

She simply found a small house and stayed there for a long time.

I thought I could give birth to the baby peacefully, but when I was eight months pregnant, someone came to my door.

The other person was none other than the noble lady that Helena saw at the beginning.

The other party did not seem surprised about her pregnancy. Instead, he smiled and told her to have a good rest.

Helena didn't come back to her senses until the other person left.

The noble lady told her that the person in power had actually known all along that she was pregnant, and was just testing whether she would make a fuss and ask to return to the family.

After all, only when the family and the lady's family work together can they create better value.

Therefore, no matter how well a commoner woman like Helena does, others will not look up to her.

Her behavior of hiding away and giving birth to a child in this way, in a sense, pleased those in power.

The person in power had even decided that once Helena gave birth to the child safely, he would bring the child back to the family and give the child to the noble lady to raise.

In this way, the child's true birth can be concealed.

The truth was like a huge knife falling on Helena's head. She couldn't believe that her lover would treat her like this.

The lady's one-sided statement may not explain the whole problem, so Helena decided to verify it herself.

She wrote a letter and asked the person in power to meet her at the beach in the evening.

At that time, the general framework of the cruise ship she designed had been built.

When the evening breeze blew, Helena saw the man in power walking towards her holding flowers.

The man also remembered that she liked flowers.

She did not hide her belly and told the one in power that she had been pregnant for a long time and was now worried about the baby in her belly.

The man hugged her and comforted her softly.

As long as he was around, she would be safe.

She implicitly stated that she wanted to return to the family after giving birth and continue to stay with him, but the man's expression changed.

Even though Helena told him that she was no longer afraid of rumors, the man still refused.

He just told Helena that she just needed to rest and wait for the birth, and he would take care of everything.

Is it about figuring out how to hand over your child to another person?

Helena was unwilling to accept this. She didn't want her child to call another woman "mom".

Late one night, Helena escaped in a small boat.

It was not until dawn that everyone realized that Helena was missing, so they immediately sent people out to sea to look for her.

However, the wind and waves were very strong that night and everything was swept away.

Later, Helena was seen unconscious in a small town hospital far away.

When Helena woke up, she was told that the baby in her belly had died and her body had suffered serious trauma.

When the man in power came to take Helena away, she simply asked why they had to come to her.

He said that Helena's talent in building ships was far superior to that of most men.

And their family needs to rely on going overseas to do business to consolidate their family status.

So that's how it is. It turns out there is no such rich emotion at all.

From then on, Helena was placed in a small house of the family.
